When Ultraman appears in reality, however:

On the planet near the black hole, Nexus continues to fight the enemy before him.

One mistake could lead to his eternal death, but Qin Haoyu was prepared. The moment the Yama Monster Sai Gao Gu stood up again, the Giant of Light also unleashed a devastating shockwave with his right fist after charging forward.

Phew—boom!

The terrifying impact sent Saigogu's body flying thousands of meters backward, even catching up with the hundreds-of-meters-high water wall that had attacked not long ago.

Dark Mephistopheles watched all this unfold, and as he watched the giant gradually turn orange, his heart sank.

……

Yueji left the place he had agreed upon with Lin Chongyi. As he arrived alone in another time and space, time on Earth began to pass rapidly.

2024 is the beginning, and 2026 will follow.

For Yueji, he was already 20 years old...

He didn't resist the trap set by the wishing red ball; instead, he wanted to know what it was up to.

So he walked alone into that spacetime—the distorted realm hidden near the planet where Qin Haoyu was, in the singularity at the deepest part of the black hole.

A distorted spacetime...

When he opened his eyes, he saw the deepest part of his memories, the very origin.

His destiny was sealed the moment he was born.

There was no one waiting in the delivery room. When his first cry broke the silence, he was greeted only by cold sheets.

Liu Jingqiu had been pregnant multiple times before, and had chosen to terminate the pregnancy each time. When the doctor warned her that she could no longer do so, the seeds of resentment were already sown deep—she used every means to punish this stubbornly arriving ominous child, pouring all her fear and resentment into the unborn life.

Liu Jingqiu had been pregnant multiple times before, and had aborted at least two pregnancies before her period ended.

When she tried various methods to prevent Yueji from coming into this world, the doctor told her that she could not do such things anymore, otherwise she would lose her fertility in the future.

She believed too much in fortune telling... but also too much in herself. When Yue Ji was born by sheer luck, Liu Jingqiu poured all her hatred into him.

A few years ago, a fortune teller told her that Yueji had a bright future and that if she was nurtured well, she would surely shine in the future.

She believed her and raised her with false love for a long time.

Yueji was unaware of this. He knew that he had come into this world by virtue of his hard life, and at that time he thought that this was the life of an ordinary person, and that he was just an ordinary person.

Until something unexpected happened.

The memories continued to unfold, but Yueji was tired of seeing them. He already knew all about these things, so he continued on without hesitation.

The same applies to the early story of the Land of Light.

They helped Yueji, but they couldn't truly help Yueji. Despite being a highly developed society, they were unable to solve the fundamental problems of human society.

Ultimately, these are works written by humans; they cannot cure humanity's most fundamental problems, nor can they resolve the tragic fate of the most sorrowful.

Yueji sincerely thanked them.

The good news is that he became Ultraman, and his teammates were all the Ultramen. They shone brightly and saved the hearts of countless children.

Even when he was desperate and had nowhere else to turn, he was redeemed when he saw Tiga facing Gatanothor, when he saw the shining Tiga.

The bad news is that Ultraman cannot solve the fundamental problems of human society. The world can be saved, but individual people cannot be saved... Yueji's life continues to pass, and the depths of Yueji remain filled with pain.

Yueji gazed calmly at these flashbacks, her pupils devoid of emotion.

Until one moment, he stopped.

In the image, a younger version of himself is intently focused on a computer screen. In an era when only pirated game boxes existed, he entered virtual worlds through rudimentary websites and blurry images.

At that moment, he was smiling.

That was the only undeniable happiness in his entire childhood.

The light and shadows outside the window shifted, the sun and moon revolved. Loneliness was his constant companion; he was alone in the empty house. But even in the deepest of nights, when tears silently soaked the keyboard—

The boy never left the screen.

The game's storyline brought tears to his eyes, but when he looked up, the room was so quiet he could hear his own breathing. He was simultaneously moved by the virtual story and stung by the silence of reality.

At that time, he had many ideas growing wildly in his mind like weeds—I want to become that kind of person, I want to write that kind of story, I want the world to remember my name, I want to be an astronaut, I want to be a content creator, I want to be a creator!

It was during that period that Yueji truly came alive. He was no longer a shadow drifting with the tide, but for the first time, he could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

I have to do something. I absolutely must do something.

After experiencing the Ma Xiayi incident, he made this vow in front of the mirror.

I will never have love or romance in this life, as long as my dreams can come true.

The scene continued, and just as Yueji's facial expression finally changed, the red ball shifted the scene, interrupting Yueji's deepest memories.

It was as if even it dared not let Yueji watch any longer.

All memories were abruptly interrupted. Whether it was events on Earth, the moonlit desolation deep within another dimension, Qin Haoyu fighting on the Water World planet, or the Ultras in the Ultra Main Universe.

At this moment, the timeline slowly locks in.

When Yue Ji came to his senses, the scene before him changed again, and he arrived at the original Nexus Ruins.

However, everything was different. The atmosphere of the ruins made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts, and Yueji, who had long been of the same origin as Noah, also knew that this was not the real Nexus ruins.

……

On Earth, people welcomed the new year, the year 2026.

There are so many things to look forward to in 2026. Half a year has passed quietly. As Ultraman and Alien Beasts gradually fade from view, people's mindset has also begun to return to normalcy.

As long as people are not affected by the disaster, they continue to live their lives. Ordinary people are completely unaware of why the disaster happened and will therefore criticize the source of the disaster.

Good things still happen, and so do hardships. Unlike Yueji, who was trapped in that vortex of suffering, those connected to her have returned to normal life.

Wang Ye and Pan Ting, who are about to start their internships, begin living together. After the New Year, they begin a simple daily routine.

Wang Ye and Pan Ting both understood Yue Ji's situation without saying a word. The more they thought about that past event, the less they could go on with their daily lives.

They couldn't remember everything, so they didn't tell Ishilin, who had been through the same thing and had a deeper connection with Yueji. If she knew about it, her life would be completely ruined.

While eating the food Wang Ye had prepared, Pan Ting wanted to say: "Perhaps Yue Ji is already dead."

But the words stuck in her throat. Changed by Yue Ji, she could only look at the equally mature Wang Ye with a worried expression, unsure how to face this reality.
